Chi Qingchi glanced at the three male classmates.
The quick-witted one immediately spoke up:
"Good evening, everyone. My sister and I are done shopping—you guys can keep waiting in line."
With that,
he pulled his sister away from the scene.
The three boys had expected the twins' "aloof" attitude.
This was how they acted at school too.
Outside campus, the distance only felt more pronounced.
The lanky Gao Yumin stared at the sisters' retreating figures for a long moment before grinning:
"Hey, which of the twins do you think is prettier—the older sister or the younger one?"
The short, dark-skinned Gou Feng gave him a puzzled look:
"When did you go blind? They look exactly the same!"
Zhao Bin shot him a disdainful glance:
"Other than obsessing over laundry, what else are you good for?"
"No two people are completely identical, not even twins! The differences are obvious!"
"I think the younger sister is cuter—total kawaii vibes, heh."
Gao Yumin wagged a finger:
"Hard disagree. The older sister is the real prize."
"That icy demeanor of hers… damn, it sends chills right to your soul!"
"That kind of girl is way more satisfying to conquer, you know?"
The moment he said this,
his two friends' expressions shifted dramatically.
Gou Feng: "Damn, kid, I respect your audacity!"
Zhao Bin: "I’m telling the class monitor you’re eyeing his crush!"
Gou Feng: "Yeah, I heard it too—he even shuddered talking about her."
Zhao Bin: "Ooooh, someone’s playing with fire~"
Gao Yumin effortlessly hoisted a case of beer to shoulder height:
"Go ahead and snitch if you’re itching for a beating. You guys wouldn’t get it—I’m just appreciating beauty."
"Two years in college without a girlfriend—explaining this to you is pointless."
Zhao Bin: "At least I’ve tried pursuing someone, even if it was just flirting. But Dog Bro here…"
Gou Feng: "Shut the hell up! Am I the only one in our class who’s never dated? Quit bringing it up every time… Lin Yu?!"
Zhao Bin: "Can you even name someone worse off? With his circumstances… everyone knows. What girl in her right mind would date him?"
Gao Yumin: "No need to attack him like that. Dog Bro’s clinging to his last shred of dignity—let him have it, haha!"
Gou Feng: "I’m talking about over there! Our classmate Lin Yu!"
Only then did Dog Bro and his two buddies simultaneously turn their gaze toward the middle of the street.
The three college students had no idea:
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back.
…
One minute earlier.
[Ding!]
[Crisis Alert: Members of the Blazing Abyss cult have been detected nearby. Some fellow sect members are already being targeted. Host, remain vigilant and respond carefully!]
Mr. Lin, an ordinary citizen returning from grocery shopping, suddenly heard the system notification.
Having previously battled "Outsider Demons,"
he knew the enemy was close.
But pinpointing them in this bustling, crowded street was no easy task.
Lin Yu steadied himself, pushing his super-vision and super-hearing abilities to their limits.
He scanned every passerby with meticulous focus.
Then the name "Lin Yu" drifted into his ears.
His attention snapped to the trio of vaguely familiar guys in front of the fried chicken stand.
Thankfully, he’d done his homework today.
Otherwise, recognizing classmates he hadn’t seen in over a decade—especially male ones—would’ve been impossible at a glance!
Dog Bro, Tall Gao, Old Zhao!
Nicknames always stuck better than real names.
These three shared a dorm with the class monitor, Shi Yanhai, forming an inseparable little clique.
[Members of the Blazing Abyss cult]…
Class Monitor Shi Yanhai…
Now, Lin Yu had a pretty good idea who today’s "demon troupe" referred to!
After Gou Feng’s shout of "Lin Yu,"
the comments from Gao Yumin and Zhao Bin didn’t escape his ears either.
Lin Yu felt nothing.
Given his past life’s experiences and background, he knew he belonged to the "minority group" that girls in film school would never glance at twice.
He was self-aware enough to accept that.
In his past life, hearing such remarks might’ve stung.
But now…
Ah, youth. If you can’t find love at the peak of your attractiveness, good luck later.
Besides,
Lin Yu now had his sweet, devoted Xiao Fufu by his side!
"Watch your step."
Lin Yu gently guided Ye Mengfu’s arm to steer her through the jostling crowd.
[Ding!]
[Masterstroke Move: A subtle act of daily care warms your dao companion’s heart!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
[Ding!]
[Critical Hit: Intimate gesture with an ethereal beauty delivers a devastating blow to the Blazing Abyss cult members who underestimated the host!]
[Reward: 20 spirit stones, 20 spirit stones, 20 spirit stones]
Here it comes.
That familiar feeling is back!
The happiest two-for-one deal:
Sweet and sour, with a side of braised flavor!
Still, what a shame…
Why are there only four in their dorm?
Lin Yu suppressed a smirk, eagerly anticipating this "chance encounter."
To ensure his former classmates had enough time to react,
he deliberately slowed his pace.
Gao Yumin, with the clearest line of sight, saw it first.
He blurted out in disbelief:
"Holy shit, it really is Lin Yu!"
"Who’s that bombshell next to him? Someone from our school?"
"Wait—is he actually holding her hand? Did they just—kiss?!"
Zhao Bin craned his neck like a wobbling goat, straining for a better view:
"I thought I was hallucinating—did he just pull her arm?!"
"Since when did Lin Yu get a girlfriend?"
"Must be from another school. Does she not know his family situation?"
"Damn, she’s giving the twins a run for their money—and that figure? Absolute knockout!"
Gou Feng’s eyes practically shot flames.
This wasn’t just about losing his "bottom-of-the-barrel" buddy.
The way the girl shyly fidgeted, demure and gentle…
She was the exact type he’d searched for in vain throughout film school!
How…
How the hell did Lin Yu land her?!
With his mediocre grades?
His less-than-ideal family background?
His quiet, unassuming personality?
"Lin Yu! Yu! Over here!"
Gou Feng cupped his hands around his mouth, shouting loud enough to pierce the crowd.
Gao Yumin: "Wait—Dog Bro, why the hell are you calling him? Trying to invite him to eat? You think Hai-ge would agree?"
Zhao Bin: "Dog Bro, don’t tell me you… just want a whiff?"
Gou Feng immediately snapped back:
"Shut the fuck up, both of you! Maybe they’re not even together."
"What’s wrong with saying hi to a classmate?"
His desperate shouts didn’t just reach Lin Yu—
even Ye Mengfu heard them.
Ye Mengfu: "Um, I think someone’s…"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yeah. Just… some classmates. Let’s go say hello."
Ye Mengfu: "!!!"
M-meet Lin Yu’s classmates?!
Ye Mengfu was completely unprepared!
Yet before she could process it,
she was already being led toward the sidewalk.
But she wasn’t the only one caught off guard.
Gou Feng noticed the two were getting closer and closer.
When the distance was less than a meter,
his daily habit kicked in, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath...
Gou Feng: "!!!"
Vital 28 Lavender Fragrance Laundry Detergent, Green Umbrella Rose-Scented Softener...
Not many people in Pingchuan use these two products...
But this scent...
It was coming from Lin Yu!
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone.

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
